In 2001 Amber Communication Networks won the so-called 'Framework contract' for the University of Warwick. This contract runs for 2/3 years and has a very wide scope, which includes the installation and maintenance of telecommunications cabling across the campus.

Highlights of our work on this contract are as follows

· 650 individual projects from several hundred outlets in a single building to a single outlet.
· Maintenance of the existing fibre and copper networks for LAN, alarms, BMS and CCTV
· Installation of over 1.3 million metres of optical fibre
· Termination of over 1000 optical fibre connectors
· Installation of over 0.7 million metres of copper backbone
· Installation of over 1500 outlets
· Installation of over 2500 metres of containment systems
· Installation of over 65,000 metres horizontal cable
· Digital TV distribution systems, disabled room auto diallers, car park barrier communications and release systems
· Innovative differential GPS survey on all external ducts and chambers (463 chambers, 17,720 metres of duct routes)
· Civil works such as ducts and chamber construction

Our existing logistic procedures on site maintain a stock of materials backed up with significant consignment stock held by our suppliers. All materials are triple sourced to ensure that there is no service affecting logistic issues.

We have spent a great deal of time and effort in honing logistic procedures that are tailored to the Universities unique needs and are sufficiently robust to be expanded at short notice.

Birmingham City Council is one of the largest local authorities in Europe. It serves a population of over 1 million people has 452 schools and over 50,000 staff.
